3 We add the E to your RTG Electrification of Rubber-Tired Gantries RTGs will remain the primary machines for moving containers in terminal yards worldwide RTGs represent more than 50% of the total fuel consumption at a typical port Conventional rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTGs) are equipped with diesel gensets that transform diesel fuel into electrical energy. This energy powers the electric motors that are necessary for the movement and positioning of containers in the port. Electrification of the RTG Converting a conventional RTG into a fully electric RTG (E-RTG TM ) means shutting down the diesel genset and powering the RTG with electric power directly from the power grid. The E-RTG TM conversion can be accomplished with one of two different unique electric power supply systems developed by Conductix-Wampfler: Motor Driven Cable Reel System or Conductor Rail System. E-RTG TM : A Crucial Contribution to Fuel Savings and Clean Ports! Low energy costs and minimal environmental impact are key concerns of modern port logistics. With the consumption of many liters of diesel fuel per day and rising diesel fuel prices, powering of RTGs represents a substantial cost factor for port operators. The conversion of diesel to electric powered RTGs results in a reduction in diesel fuel consumption of about 95%. The remaining diesel engines are only used to transfer of the RTG from one container lane to another or from the container lane to the maintenance area. During normal operation they remain switched off, which drastically reduces the emission of greenhouse gases such as CO 2 or NO x into the port environment. Conductix-Wampfler s core competency is in the development, production, consulting, and installation of tailor made, engineered solutions that provide energy supply and data transmission for our customers moving machinery. If you seek a turnkey solution to add the E to your RTG, look no further than Conductix-Wampfler we have the answers! Motor Driven Reel Solution Plug-In Solution Drive-In L Solution 3

4 Motor Driven Cable Reel Solution Speed and Performance for the E-RTG TM To add the E with a power cable, a motorized cable reel is mounted on the RTG. Each RTG has its own reel system that operates independently. For this approach, Conductix-Wampfler offers two different technologies: Modular Motorized Cable Reels with Permanent Magnetic Couplers Conductix-Wampfler offers a unique plug & play system based on interchangeable electrical and mechanical components. Frequency Controlled Motorized Cable Reels Conductix-Wampfler offers an extensive array of control units. We can supply pre-programmed hardware controls mounted on a panel or in a control cabinet. We can also supply a software program designed to integrate with existing PLC units. Our range of systems covers low voltage and high voltage applications. A fiber optic core and transmitter can be integrated into the reel and cable. Both technologies are precisely adjusted to the dynamic requirements of the storage applications in container terminals. One to several blocks in the same lane can be covered by the same reel system. 4 Most worldwide operators already use our reel systems on RMG and STS cranes.

5 E-RTG TM Systems from Conductix-Wampfler Video cameras monitor the cable trench to assure that the cable remains free to pay out and wind up A special wide cable guide is used, designed to accommodate lateral movements of the RTG Since there are no guiding beams, two optical sensors, one on each side of the trench, control the travel deviation of the crane Yard Junction Box with circuit breaker protection, providing the interface to connect the cable reel to the yard power supply 5

6 Plug-In Solution Reliability for the E-RTG TM With the plug-in system, conductor rails are mounted on a steel structure system bolted on top of a concrete base. Depending on the terminal conditions or customer requirements, this base is either put on top of or imbedded into the terminal surface. Electrical energy is picked up from the conductor rails using a collector trolley connected to the RTG crane. A steel cable pulls the trolley along the steel framing. A power cable with a plug and socket connector link the collector trolley electrically to the RTG. Safety is of paramount importance. Pilot pins are used to assure that the plug will remain powerless during the unplugging process. Two sockets may be installed on either side of the RTG to enable flexible crane operation when changing blocks. Limit switches are installed on the collector trolley to prevent the crane operator from accidentally leaving the block while still connected to the conductor rails. The steel structure which holds the conductor rails may be installed at various predetermined heights. This allows easy access to the RTG during maintenance, service, or repair procedures. 6

The socket connector is mounted on the crane side Standardized concrete foundation and steel structure to mount conductor rails 7

8 Drive-In L Solution High Flexibility for the E-RTG TM With the Drive-in L solution, the current collector system is installed on the RTG. Once engaged in the structure and conductor rails, the trolley runs freely. Drive-in process is fully automated requiring no additional ground staff. All movements of the RTG are fully electrically driven no additional hydraulics or pneumatics. The design is very compact to fit into the very narrow installation space on the RTG. The modular concept allows integration of data transmission systems as a next step towards RTG automation. 8

9 E-RTG TM Systems from Conductix-Wampfler The unique track profile serves as the running beam for the collector trolley and also carries the conductor rail system, thus allowing full control of tolerances The very compact system is the lightest system on the market and suitable for any kind of RTG The short Drive-In zone allows the E-RTG to run with electrical power from the very first container row. It only takes seconds to drive in or drive out. The Drive-In L provides the highest compensation of RTG working tolerances 9
